Tips to Stay Safe while Ridesharing

Safety has been a central theme surrounding rideshare services in recent months. Ridesharing services are a very convenient and popular way to get where you’re going; they often cost less and are quicker to arrive than a traditional taxi cab. The popular ridesharing companies have safety guidelines in place, but just like when using a traditional taxi driver, it’s a good idea to observe the following safety tips when using a rideshare service.

Help fight crime by reporting suspicious activity to UCSF PD (or the local jurisdiction police) immediately. For emergency or in-progress events, dial 9-911 when using on-campus land lines and 415.476.6911 when using cell phones. For non-emergency calls, please dial 415.476.1414.
